    Gun to my head, I would never be able to tell you what the fuck that company sells

    similar to IBM’s business really: invoices, lawsuits, and (at meta level) Vibes

    Benioff is quite a piece of work

      But invoices have to be for something, right? Like IBM has hardware and the best-in-industry vendor lock-in. My alma mater is going to be paying for that IBM Mainframe in the basement that runs the entire fucking school until the Sun itself abandons us.

        No, invoices need to be for “something”. There are many, many businesses in this world that make constant bank on bullshit

        Your alma mater isn’t paying megabux to support that mainframe itself, relative to IBM’s total income, but I bet you’d find many extras tacked on that make a significant contribution
